the main reason why I was asking about the real differences:

I made my decision to use SLF4J as API and to use LOGBack as implementation.
...runs all inside OSGI Enterprise (client/server) application
based on: Eclipse Equinox, Eclipse Riena, Easybeans / Hibernate etc.

so I'm using bundles with the bridges between slf4j and log4j, jcl, jul
and also wrote my osgi-over-slf4j bundle as bridge between
OSGI log services, OSGI framework events, OSGI bundle events...

all works well

...but there was a question in my blog why I'm not using PAX-Logging
as bridge to other legacy logging frameworks.
but PAX Logging uses Log4J as implementation and I'm working on
my next blog entries and wanted to provide a matrix to compare features
of log4j and logback
